Reviews
Empire's Labor is a beautifully written, essential book exposing the labor and labor exploitation underpinning the military industrial complex, U.S. empire, and the corporations fueling permanent war. -- David Vine, Professor of Anthropology, American University, author of <I>Base Nation</I>
Empire's Labor is a beautifully written, essential book exposing the labor and labor exploitation underpinning the military industrial complex, U.S. empire, and the corporations fueling permanent war. -- David Vine, Professor of Anthropology, American University, author of <I>Base Nation</I> Based in intensive on-the-ground research, this rich and remarkable book gives us a new way to understand the current everywhere war through the lens of the contract labor and migrations from poor countries that makes it possible. Acutely analyzed and strong empiric, Moore's book will be a foundational text for understanding contemporary war and providing insight into labor's pushback. -- Catherine Lutz, Brown University, author of Homefront and An Empire of Bases I can't think of any book about America's current global military conflicts that I've learned more from than Adam Moore's Empire's Labor. Moore combines geography, history, ethnography, and political science in a sophisticated and readable analysis about the role of everyday people from all over the world who support American military logistics. -- Jennifer Mittelstadt, Professor of History, Rutgers University
